One of the most beautiful '57 Chevys I've ever seen! The colors, stance, and wheels are all to die for. Only .....
179 miles on the odometer since a complete body off frame, rotisserie custom build. The brand new chassis, 383 stroker, overdrive automatic transmission and long list of mechanical upgrades will provide optimal drivability. Plus, it has a stunning and comfortable full custom Ultraleather interior. This one absolutely ticks all the boxes!
EXTERIOR: What a color! It's what makes this '57 stand out from the others. The paint is laid out with expert precision. It has a smooth and slick finish that is so reflective, I could shave in it. Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body there is not a ripple or wave in sight. All the panels are beautifully aligned with gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. All of the trim and chrome sparkles like jewelry. Gorgeous all chrome front end including the grill and bumper bullets. The emblems on the hood were eliminated for a clean look. The convertible top is upgraded to a rich dark blue canvas, with a custom made boot that matches the top. All new smoked glass is a really nice touch. It's sitting on new Billet Specialty wheels that are 19" up front and 20" in back. They are wrapped in a new set of performance tires.
INTERIOR: Sit down and get cozy! It has a soft and supple Ultraleather custom interior with very comfortable bucket seats front and back. The beautiful custom made, full length center console looks totally amazing. It has a stereo system with speakers and tweeters in the console, plus behind the back seat is a subwoofer and two more speakers. The dash is painted as beautifully as the car with the lower portion being reworked for a clean look. It has new white face gauges by Classic Instruments that even includes a mini tachometer. Upgraded chrome tilt column with a billet wheel. It also has an upgraded wiper system that is relocated under the dash. Plus, new sun visors and carpeting too. Everything is crisp and fresh and in like new condition!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Bada bing! It's a powerful 383 stroker motor making over 400hp and it's been fully adorned with polished parts. Equipped with an Endurashine Edelbrock intake and a massive dual feed Holley carburetor. It also has an upgraded HEI ignition and headers. It's wearing a highly polished set of valve covers, polished plug wire holders and a finned air cleaner with blue details. Up front it looks great with a full March serpentine front runner system including billet pulleys, serpentine belt, polished alternator, modern power steering and a polished mini air conditioning compressor. The power brake system is chromed. It runs cool with an upgraded aluminum radiator, polished hose and custom made shroud. The engine bay is magnificently painted to match the car which has a custom firewall and radiator support also.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Pristine! The underside of the trunk lid, inside and jamb are painted slick just like the body. There is a new weatherstrip and a latch mechanism. There is a custom made and upholstered rear panel. The floor has cut and bound carpet, under the lid has upholstered inserts.
UNDERSIDE: Full rotisserie restoration! It's a thing of beauty and function underneath this car! Upgraded with a new Progressive Chassis smooth box frame that has tubular supports. Up front has a rack and pinion steering system, chromed tubular control arms, and adjustable coil over shocks by Ridetech. In back is a 4 link setup with chrome tubular control arms and Ridetech coilover adjustable shocks as well. It has an all new fuel system including the tank. Upgraded with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels plus with polished calipers. It also has a great sounding dual exhaust system with stainless Flowmaster mufflers. Looking up at the engine it has an extra capacity Milodon oil pan, chrome high torque starter and chrome flywheel cover. The upgraded 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission and a rebuilt drive shaft leads back to the beefy 9" rear end. The floors are all in pristine condition and painted slick, looking just like the body.
Service: We ran this car through our shop and repaired the exhaust tips, changed the pinion angle, repaired the vent windows, replaced the front shocks, repaired the horn, repaired the turn signal, repaired the a/c, repaired the carburetor, and changed the oil.
"Still in the wrapper" with only 179 miles since this fabulous full custom build was completed. '34 Ford and '57 Chevy hot rods never go out of style. This is one killer convertible that's gonna be hard to top!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
